"Flavia Company’s Singular Travel Guide
The fable-like quality that the experiences recounted in La clau acquire leads us to think that what drives this journey is not the pusillanimous pursuit of some miserable happiness, but the desire to awaken human energy.” —Ponç Puigdevall, El País (October 2026)
The Key, by Flavia Company Navau, is a journey around the world—a hymn to freedom and transformation.
In 2018, Flavia Company decided to travel around the world alone, carrying nothing more than a backpack, a rag doll and a yoga mat. For four years, she crossed borders by land, sea and air.
Company now recounts that adventure, returning from it with a wealth of experience to share, rich in anecdotes, reflections, surprises, landscapes and conversations.
There is no tourism and no picture-postcard scenery in The Key: there is exposure to the elements, a way of seeing, and growth. It is a story made up of stories, bringing into view the thread that connects us all, and showing that journeys, like literature, are voyages from which there is no return.
